We are just starting with MBTP 5-7 (Kindergarten). We are using a different program for handwriting but I noticed there are handwriting sections in MBTP. How important is it that we do the handwriting in MBTP if we are using a different program?

Not at all, important. Just worksheets using basically a Zaner-bloser style. If you're keen on D'Nealian or something else then you wouldn't want to use them anyway. We used a handwriting workbook and the sheets, but I never pressed them to do it. They just did it.

We didn't start a handwriting curriculum until after we finished 5-7. I absolutely do not see the need to do both. Just skip those pages in MBTP.
